Abstract: A wooden panel (1) has at least five layers which are arranged in a sheet-like fashion one above the other in the manner of a grid and the layer elements of which are arranged crosswise or parallel with respect to elements of neighbouring layers. The crosswise arrangement results in high stability and the parallel arrangement results in the wooden panel being sealed in the transverse direction. The design of the wooden panel permits the use of comparatively small-format strips or planks, and thus a cost-effective utilization of left-over wood. The wooden panel (1) can be used as a load-bearing wall element, ceiling element or roofing element. In a pre-mounting position, the wooden panel may also be divided up into a flat side plane, the part-panels then comprising in each case a part of the layers of the wooden panel. The part-panels are mounted at the mounting location, such that they face one another on the flat side, and then, together, form a wooden panel again. This configuration is particularly advantageous when erecting partition walls. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for detecting commercial variations in transparent containers (12) such as glass bottles that includes a conveyor (14) for directing containers along a path through an inspection station, and a light source (16) disposed on one side of the path for directing light energy through a container at the inspection station. A light sensing camera (28) is positioned on the same side of the conveyor path, and a retroreflector (22) is positioned on the opposing side of the conveyor path opposite the light source and camera for reflecting light energy transmitted from the source through a container at the station back through the container onto the camera. Commercial variations are detected as a function of variations in intensity of light energy received at the camera. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A one-piece plastics closure for a carbonated beverage bottle has a sealing ring (24) which extends inwardly and downardly towards the closure mouth from its attachment to the closure body. When the closure is fitted the ring extends around the outer radius (56) and over the annular top face (50) of the bottle neck, backed by a stepless abutment and reaction surface (34) of the closure body. The latter surface engages the sealing ring mechanically above the container top face (50) to determine the fitted position of the closure and create a seal when the pressure in the bottle is low. When the product pressure is high, however, the effective seal is made between the sealing ring (24) and the outer radius (56) of the bottle neck. For that purpose the abutment and reaction surface is roughened, so allowing access for the product pressure to the back of the sealing ring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An industrial process (2) is simulated, this process varying the value of each physical quantity Pi which is characteristic of its status, with a speed of variation Vi, on the basis of the status of control signals (3) sent out by an automatic control device (1), and which reports its status to the said automatic unit by means of status signals (4) sent by sensors as a function of the value of the physical quantity which they monitor. For each physical quantity Pi, the interval of time  DELTA ti is determined during which the value of the physical quantity may vary without any one of the sensors monitoring this quantity Pi changing state. Then the value of each physical quantity Pi is updated, by incrementing it by the value of the product of the speed of variation Vi with the time interval  DELTA t, which is the smallest of the previously determined time intervals. Finally, after having updated the sensors monitoring each physical quantity Pi, there is a time delay, the parameters of which can be set, before recommencing the procedure. The simulation procedure is used to test the logical and time-based operation of an automatic unit, such as an industrial programmable automatic unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The object of the invention is to perform an automatic decomposition of a packet switching network in backbone nodes and subareas nodes to speed up the routing path search without degrading the optimization criterion of the routing algorithm and without generating additional control messages on the network. Currently, routing algorithms compute all the available paths in the network, from the source node to the destination node before to select an optimal route. However, networks are rarely fully meshed. They are usually built around a hierarchical structure : a set of nodes, interconnected by high throughput lines, are used to build a backbone with a high degree of meshing and then, local nodes are grouped in geographical subareas themselves attached to the backbone. Routing algorithms can take advantage of this particular network topology to drastically reduce the complexity of paths computation. For a given connection, only a limited number of nodes are defined as usable and are taken in account by the algorithm in its path calculation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transdermal/transmucosal drug delivery system utilizes glycerin to moderate the initial burst effect of transdermal drug delivery and also maintain the delivery to the derma/mucosa at a relatively sustained rate over the duration of the application to either an application or afflicted situs. The drug composition contains an effective amount of a percutaneously absorbable drug and an amount of glycerin which is effective to moderate and maintain the transdermal delivery of the drug. The system also contains means for maintaining the drug composition in a drug transferring relationship with the derma/mucosa. When applied to an afflicted situs the composition is preferably a gel, cream, lotion or ointment. When applied to an application situs the compositions are contained within a device such as a matrix or liquid reservoir patch which is held to the application site by means of the adhesive. The drug composition may contain glycerin in amounts of between about 0.1 to 50 % by volume.

Abstract: A no-clean soldering flux consists essentially of one or more halide-free, water soluble activators in an aggregate amount not exceeding about 5% by weight of the flux, a water soluble fluorinated surfactant in an amount not exceeding about 1% by weight of the flux, and water. The flux is substantially VOC-free and is particularly useful in a method of producing soldered printed wiring assemblies with minimal residual ionic contamination, so that post-soldering cleaning of the assemblies is unnecessary. The absence of significant amounts of VOC's and the elimination of post-soldering cleaning result in substantial environmental and production-related benefits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooling hot gas in a reactor (10) which is provided with a mixing chamber (12) for hot gas and a chamber encompassing a bubbling fluidized bed (11) in the lower section of the reactor, a riser (14) in the middle section, a gas outlet (18) in the upper section of the reactor, and heat transfer surfaces for recovering heat from solid particles. The hot gas is introduced through the mixing chamber (12) into the lower section of the reactor. In the mixing chamber (12) solid particles are supplied to the hot gas for cooling the gas. The gas containing solid particles is conveyed into a separator, where a portion of the solid particles is separated from the gas and flows into the fluidized bed (11). From the separator, the gas is conveyed through the riser into particle separators (17) and, when purified, further out of the reactor (10). The solid particles separated in the particle separator (17) are returned to the lower section of the reactor. From the fluidized bed (11), cooled solid particles are conveyed to the mixing chamber (12) for cooling of hot gas. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for processing auxiliary video information, such as closed caption information, includes capability for detecting invalid parity errors that may be created by video signal distortion effects caused by sync suppression video signal scrambling. The sync suppression distortion does not affect the video display but may modify the parity bit of the second of two closed caption characters in each occurrence of line 21 of field 1 causing invalid parity errors. Parity errors in the first character, which is unaffected by the sync suppression distortion, indicate whether valid parity errors exist in the second character. If no parity errors occur in the first character, parity errors that occur in the second character are considered to be invalid.
